Halloween 2008: Elvira in Philadelphia
October 10, 2008 |
As the persona “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark,” Cassandra Peterson gained fame (and some might say, notoriety) by hosting Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation and lampoon. She is now a media icon in her trademark gothic black gown, black beehive wig, amazing cleavage, and valley-girl attitude. And this Halloween, Elvira will be touring the historic sites of Philadelphia.
The fun-filled evening will begin when Elvira does a reading of the famous poem The Raven at the Edgar Allen Poe House from 5:30-7 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., Elvira will join guests for a thrill at America’s most historic prison for the Eastern State Penitentiary’s popular haunted attraction, Terror Behind the Walls. Finally, Elvira will stop by the Haunted Halloween Bash at the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue. The Bash lasts from 9 p.m.-2 a.m., and Elvira will arrive around 10 p.m. It features drinks, food, a DJ, and an Elvira look-alike contest. General admission tickets to the Bash are $30.
